TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the main components of this international validation effort, including the current participants, their ground LAI measurements and scaling techniques, and the metadata and infrastructure established to share data.

TL;DR: The floristic composition, species diversity, similarity and richness among three stages of forest regeneration, and the influence of past land use and the frequency of anthropogenic disturbances on species composition in a seasonally dry tropical forest in northwestern Costa Rica are described.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a continuous wavelet transform to detect green attack damage in lodgepole pine needles by means of hyperspectral measurements, particularly via continuous wavelets analysis.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the use of EO-1 Hyperion hyperspectral satellite imagery for mapping structure and floristic diversity in a Neotropical tropical dry forest as a way of assessing a region's ecological fingerprint.

TL;DR: In this paper, a dataset of spectral signatures (leaf level) of tropical dry forest trees and lianas and an airborne hyperspectral image (crown level) are used to test three hypersensorral data reduction techniques (principal component analysis, forward feature selection and wavelet energy feature vectors) along with pattern recognition classifiers to discriminate between the spectral signatures of liansas and trees.
